I really enjoyed staying in Benjamin’s condo! There are some significant pros and cons, which I will try to list here honestly. First the good.
Pros:
- Beautiful condo space.
- Enough room; not huge, definitely just a little bit smaller than the pictures but still very comfortable! Honestly the perfect size with a couch, small balcony, nice bed, a small surface for two to eat, a little kitchenette.
- Near enough to take a Grab/taxi most anywhere in Bangkok we wanted! Not the most central but it’s a huge city so everything is a ride or train away anyway.
- New washing machine and drying rack that worked perfectly, with free detergent!
- Provided initial soaps, shampoo, utensils, toilet paper, etc. but does not replenish toilet paper if it runs out.
- Pretty easy to call a Grab taxi or order delivery.
- The spaces on the condo property are excellent.
Cons:
- We found around three small cockroaches. I honestly didn’t think this was a huge deal and don’t mean to scare anyone away! They were very small and easy to just move outside in peace.
- The condo building had a notice on someone else’s (presumably AirBNB) lockbox that said that the building does not allow AirBNB or short-term rentals. This was the one significant issue. The hosts suggested if asked we tell people we are “staying with a friend.” I wish they had been more up-front about some of the potential reasons why…
- The entrance is down a slipper ramp and around the corner, and wasn’t super obvious in the dark.
